| Research Abstract |
A vocabulary learning e-portfolio was designed and developed for the study to investigate Japanese English learners' strategy use, and to enhance their self-controlled learning strategy use. Learners are expected to facilitate their vocabulary learning strategy use by recording lexical information, monitoring understanding, and controlling their strategy use metacognitively based on word familiarity on the e-portfolio. Through 10-week English classes at two Japanese private universities, the participants in the study showed a significant increase in the use of note-taking strategy, oral rehearsal strategy, and language exposure strategy out of seven vocabulary learning strategies measured by a questionnaire. The results also showed that they gained targeted vocabulary knowledge by recording and editing lexical information and metacognitive monitoring on the e-portfolio. The e-portfolio is planned to be open to public for free of charge after copyright issues are arranged.
